Cultural and culinary practices vary greatly across the world, and what may be considered unusual or taboo in one culture may be a common practice in another. The consumption of domestic animals like cats and dogs is a controversial topic, with some cultures viewing it as a traditional or acceptable food source, while others consider it to be inhumane. Case in point: In China, where dog eating is a traditional practice. Recently, a video went viral featuring an Indian influencer's visit to a part of China where dog meat is sold openly.

While sharing the video, she wrote, "Dog meat is a common food in the Southern part of China in many cultures. You can find the same thing in many other countries like Thailand, Vietnam, India etc."

The footage, shared by influencer Garima Bakshi on her Instagram account showcases her encounter with the open sale of dog meat in a region of China. Curious, she inquires with her Chinese companion, Vicky, "What is that?" Vicky responds, "It is dog meat." She then observes a man cooking meat in a large pan, stirring it constantly. Ms Bakshi then directs the camera towards a nearby truck, revealing a cage containing imprisoned dogs.
